Party Planning Help!

After a long, debilitating illness I am now returning to fairly good health and my husband and I want to throw a party to celebrate the return of some normalcy. The party date is quickly approaching and I don’t have any solid ideas on what I want to serve. The details of the party are that it is at 7:00 p.m. at a brewery. The only thing the brewery provides is the beer/glasses and the space. I want to serve some light fare with several vegetarian options. There are no facilities for heating, so for anything that needs to be served warm I’d have to bring an appropriate appliance (crockpot, portable roaster, etc.). Things that can be made in advance would be great, as I still don’t have a ton of energy and I would like to reserve some of it to enjoy the party. Any ideas and inspiration are appreciated! Thanks in advance!

A super hot pan, preheated under the broiler, will help to brown the underside of the steak while the broiler chars the top and cooks the meat through. The broccoli stems will become crisp-tender while the florets get deliciously frizzled.
